It may be working but not as you're expecting.
When the installation script of your first installation package is
run, it is run as root. So if you do not use "/usr/bin/su $USER -c …"
to invoke the installer command line tool for your secondary package,
the secondary package will be installed in the home folder of the root
user account.
If this is not the problem and providing the installation package is
not an issue, this could help investigate the issue.
